I think it was more Coyle  inheriting a bog average midfield from Megson and the excellent signing of Holden being able to carry it for 6 months.Holden was a one man dynamo and when he was injured it was back to the shite he inherited.Cohen/ M Davies/Muamba/McCann - difficult to get a tune from that at PL level as both Meggo and Coyle found

That midfield got top 6 under coyle. When it got decimated by injuries the wheels came off mark Davies Muamba and holden we haven’t seen the likes of since 

Just listening to Phil Neville summarising Leicester v Brighton on the telly. I wonder if he considered throwing his hat in the ring. Wouldn't be my choice but it's not me deciding.

And Gavin Mcann scored the winner at Boro to help keep us up..

..I remember saying at the time “If anyone can, Gavin Mcann can” got me a few claps from some fans around me - and I’ve been dining out on It ever since 🤪

He won’t be entering any race like this while he’s still got his cushy number with England Women.

I thought he'd left that job, or leaving.

Megson was a bellend with many flaws but he left coyle with a fantastic side.

Coyle had bad luck in losing Muamba and Holden to career ending injuries. But his inability to stop the rot was what showed him up as the shit manager he is.

Didn't know that but it's put me off Ricketts a bit now.

 

Me too.  Your original neanderthal,  in-your-face manager (and player).  When Barrow took temp charge of Wrexham before following Ricketts to Shrewsbury, his assistant was Jussi.  So its nailed on he'll back here if Ricketts comes!

What were they doing in the bottom 3 then when Megson was sacked.This "fantastic" side had 2 easy Xmas matches against Burnley and Hull to get them out of the bottom 3 but they could only draw them both.They weren't a fantastic side, they were bottom 6 material and Meggo had them 3rd bottom half way through the season

Hearing Evatt has gone from Barrow, could be bollocks but we'll soon know.

Holden was outstanding, but he wouldn’t have been half the player without Muamba’s contribution.

He was equally as energetic and constantly breaking up play for 90 minutes, allowing Holden more freedom. Those two were perhaps the best centre midfield partnership I’ve ever seen in a white shirt up until the Evans tackle.
Their combined energy papered over Coyle’s complete lack of expertise for a long time.

That’s why it was absolutely baffling that Coyle neglected Muamba once Holden got injured.

Because megson was a shit manager.

Correct. Only by comparing him to Coyle does he look good. What great jobs has Megson had since he left?

Doesn't sound too convincing, as it was pre recorded there's nothing to garner from it.

Their chairman's comments on BBC just now are interesting, part of it makes you think yeah no doubt Evatt is off here then the compo gets brought up and itll all need paying up front no installments and it might be enough to see us off.

We’ll crowdfund it -  5000 fans at £50 each and leaves a few quid for his back room staff and a freebie signing

I think the compo covers all his backroom staff.

"Ian Evatt's super white army!" I feel it in my bones.
